That's My Boy



1.5/5

It wasn't as bad as past Happy Madison movies, I'll give it that. But...eh? My audience wasn't even that enthusiastic about it. No one really laughed except out of discomfort. The points of humor in this movie weren't anything new, and I'm sure had the 11 year old boys in the audience howling. But that's just it - nothing new. All old. And where it wasn't old, it was...well, strange. Adam Sandler puts on another really annoying voice for this one, so get ready for that. Andy Samberg tries his hardest, but it really just falls apart to lame gag after lame gag. It wasn't that bad even. It was just too simple, not crazy enough, and when it was crazy it was too stupid for the audience to really appreciate. Moreso, it really looks like audiences are giving up on Adam Sandler movies (at last). His last films were pretty damn successful. This one, however, only pulled in less than 15 million dollars on it's 75 million dollar budget. So it looks like this one won't even break even.
